Default Roger Clark Manifold and Venuture Up Pipe

Hi,

Anyone used these parts before (Roger Clark Manifold and Venture Up Pipe). Am I right in thinking they fit a UK STi 9, also is the manifold unequal length (I want to keep the burble)?

Cheers,

Fz

I ve had a RCM manifold on mine for a while now - top quality as you expect with RCM, no worries with blown gaskets \ welds like on my pervious set

phone up Olly at RCM and he will give you the low down and what he can offer

best bet is ask Olly, what I can say is the set's i have seen come from RCMS are first class and fit perfectly.

I've kind of wondered this as they look identical. If so which came first?

cheers

There is one company who manufactures the 3 bolt design manifold for companies such as GT Spec, Tomei, RCMS, Lateral, and a few others.

However, be very careful to make sure you are getting this manifold, which is extremely well made, as I have come across a cheap copy, which is very poor by comparison.

An easy way to identify the quality version from the cheap replica is to look inside the collector. The GT spec have a cone shape between the individual primary pipes, the nasty replica ones just have a rough flat welded plate.

Yes thats it, a little bit porting work with a dremmel can improve things even further.
